Inuvo Prepares Plan Submission to NYSE Amex

CLEARWATER, FL – May 13, 2011 – Inuvo®, Inc. (NYSE Amex: INUV), an online technology and services company, announced today that on May 9, 2011 it received a notice from the NYSE Amex indicating that the Company is not in compliance with one of the NYSE Amex's continued listing standards.

Wally Ruiz, Inuvo’s Chief Financial Officer commented, “The difficult but successful realignment of the Company over the last 24 months produced impairment charges against intangible assets from acquisitions dating back to as far as 2004 that impacted the listing standards.  We have prepared and will file a plan with the Exchange, which we fully expect, will be satisfactory.  While inconvenient, this is not an operating obstacle. Inuvo’s core business continues to improve and the new growth drivers suggest an exciting future.”

The notice from the NYSE Amex indicated that the Company is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) of the NYSE Amex Company Guide, specifically, with stockholders' equity of less than $4,000,000 and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years. The Company was afforded the opportunity to submit a plan of compliance to the NYSE Amex by June 8, 2011 that demonstrates the Company's ability to regain compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) of the NYSE Amex Company Guide. If the Company does not submit a plan or if the plan is not accepted by the NYSE Amex, the Company will be subject to delisting procedures as set forth in Section 1010 and part 12 of the NYSE Amex Company Guide.
